Description

Background
The resin tank of traditional photocuring 3D printer comprises resin tank frame, glass board, release film and compartment membrane, contains photocuring resin in the resin tank, and the ray apparatus is arranged in the below of resin tank, and print platform sets up the top in the resin tank. When 3D printing is carried out, the printing platform is made to descend to the bottom of a resin tank containing photocureable resin, a cross-sectional view of the three-dimensional model projected by the optical machine sequentially penetrates through the glass plate, the spacer film and the release film, and finally the three-dimensional model is irradiated on the resin in a gap between the release film and the printing platform, so that the resin in the gap between the release film and the printing platform is subjected to curing reaction and is cured into a shape of a projected image, and the thickness of the cured resin layer is the height of the gap between the printing platform and the release film. Then the printing platform begins to pull up, because the printing platform is a rigid structure and fine sand grains are attached to the printing platform, the adhesive force between the solidified resin layer and the printing platform is greater than the adhesive force between the solidified resin layer and the release film, and when the printing platform is pulled up, the solidified resin layer is attached to the printing platform and is peeled off from the release film. When the second layer is printed, the printing platform descends into the resin tank again, a certain gap is reserved between the printing platform and the release film in the resin tank, and the operation is repeated in a circulating mode until the model printing is completed.
For a traditional photocuring 3D printer, the release film is an elastic transparent film, and the elasticity is reduced after repeated use, so that the release film becomes loose and the printing precision is influenced; the optical machine is arranged below the resin tank, and when small particles are introduced into the resin tank or a small printing model is left in the resin tank, the release film or the glass plate is damaged due to continuous printing, so that the resin liquid in the tank flows out to the optical machine lens, and the lens is permanently damaged; the existence of the glass plate, the spacer film and the release film leads the light to be refracted for six times when reaching the resin curing surface, thus the printing precision is seriously reduced; and under the influence of the release force, the bonding force of the cured layer resin and the printing platform is smaller and smaller, and the model which is not printed is likely to fall off from the printing platform.

step S1: adding the resin liquid into the resin tank 111, starting the second linear driving mechanism 3, and moving the scraper 523 to a specified distance Y above the liquid level of the resin liquid;
in this step, the distance measuring sensor 5231 measures the distance between the scraper 523 and the liquid surface of the resin liquid in the resin tank 111 in real time, and when the distance measuring sensor 5231 measures that the distance between the scraper 523 and the liquid surface of the resin liquid is a specified distance Y, the movement of the scraper 523 is stopped. It should be noted that, during the printing process, the distance between the scraper 523 and the resin liquid is always the designated distance Y, and as the resin liquid is consumed during the printing process, the liquid level of the resin liquid is lowered, and the scraper 523 moves down along with the resin liquid.
Step S2: setting the thickness of a printing layer as a, starting the first linear driving mechanism 2, and lifting the printing platform 4 by a specified distance X-a after descending the specified distance X and immersing the printing platform in resin liquid;
in this step, the printing platform 4 is lowered by a specified distance X, so that the printing platform 4 is immersed in the resin liquid, and then the printing platform 4 is raised by a specified distance X-a, so that the layer thickness a is the thickness of the resin liquid during each 3D printing, and is set according to the printing requirements.
Step S3: after the printing platform 4 is stabilized, the scraper motor 521 is started, and the scraper 523 rotates to scrape the excess resin liquid exceeding the printing layer thickness a on the printing platform 4;
in this step, after the printing platform 4 is stabilized, the scraper motor 521 starts to drive the scraper 523 to work, and the excess resin liquid above the printing platform 4, which exceeds the printing layer thickness a, is scraped off, so that only the resin liquid with the thickness a remains on the printing platform 4. Specifically, the scraper motor 521 drives the scraper 523 to rotate in a fan-shaped manner, the scraper 523 rotates 180 degrees around the scraper shaft 522, and excess resin liquid exceeding the printing layer thickness a on the printing platform 4 is scraped off, so that only the resin liquid with the thickness a is left on the printing platform 4.
Step S4: starting the optical machine 511, wherein the thickness of the layer left on the curing printing platform 4 is a resin liquid, and the resin liquid is subjected to a curing reaction to become a cured resin layer;
in this step, the optical machine 511 projects the cross-sectional view of the printing model onto the printing platform 4, so that the resin liquid on the printing platform 4 undergoes a curing reaction.
Step S5: after the cured resin layer is cured, the printing platform 4 continuously moves downwards for a specified distance X, is immersed in the resin liquid, then rises for a specified distance X-a, the scraper motor 521 is started again, and the scraper 523 scrapes off the excess resin liquid exceeding the layer thickness a on the cured resin layer to prepare for next-layer printing;
in this step, after the resin layer on the printing platform 4 is cured, the printing platform 4 is moved downward by a designated distance X by the first linear driving mechanism 2, so that the cured resin layer on the printing platform 4 is soaked in the resin liquid, after the soaking, the printing platform 4 is raised by a designated distance X-a, the scraper 523 is started to rotate to scrape off the excess resin liquid exceeding the layer thickness a on the cured resin layer, so that only the resin liquid with the layer thickness a is left on the cured resin layer of the printing platform 4, and the next 3D printing with the layer thickness a is prepared.
